Adrian ran a hand through his hair. It turned out to be a crazy day. He never would have guessed how things would go. “I only have one class tomorrow and it’s at eleven.”

Kelsey beamed. “Me too.”

Adrian tilted his head to study her. “Want to have breakfast before?”

She chewed on her lip. “Yes. I can pick you up at nine. Well, unless you want to get your car tonight, and in that case, we can meet somewhere, or we can…”

Adrian leaned forward and kissed her to stop her rambling. When he felt her sigh into the kiss, he pulled away before they ended up christening his new apartment with the dust and dirt. He needed to clean the place quickly, so he had a place to take her the next time they got carried away. It could be a very convenient thing to have an apartment so close by.

Maybe his luck was finally changing.

“I’m beat so I’m going to go upstairs and crash. If you could swing by around nine and take me back to my car, I can grab some clothes, and shower in the locker room on campus. If you don’t mind waiting a couple of minutes, that is. We can get breakfast after.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

Kelsey ran back inside, grabbed her purse and car keys, and Adrian walked her to her car. After another long kiss goodnight, he watched as she pulled out of the lot and disappeared down the road.

“You were out very latelast night.” Kelsey grinned at Janie through the mirror of the hallway bathroom.

Janie wandered into the bathroom and sat down on the closed toilet lid. “Uh huh.”

Kelsey was applying mascara to her lashes. It was a huge difference from a freshly washed face and hair up in a messy bun. She never used to worry about what she looked like. She had no one to impress. That was not the case any longer. Kelsey tried not to scrunch her forehead as she applied the black liquid. “That’s all you’re saying?”

Janie wore a big grin. “I’ll tell if you do.”

Kelsey screwed the cap on the mascara tube. “Why do you think I have something to tell?”

Janie lifted her feet to perch on the edge of the lid and wrapped her arms around her knees. “Since when do you wear skinny jeans and one of your go-out tank tops to school? And we can’t forget the high heeled boots.”

“Maybe I’m just tired of always looking like we rolled out of bed.” Adrian always looked sexy in everything he wore. There was something so appealing about the way he filled out his jeans. She loved his new look way better than the polished one he used to sport. The casual, carefree attitude and manner of dress seemed to fit him better.

“So, it wouldn’t have anything to do with a certain sexy guy who you claim to hate?”

Kelsey turned back to the mirror. “I don’t hate Greg.” She was watching Janie’s reflection, so she didn’t miss her best friend nearly falling off the toilet.

“Greg! Awk. That’s who you’re making yourself cute for? Girl.”

Kelsey couldn’t hold in her laugh. “I’m picking Adrian up and we are going to have breakfast.”

“Whoa! Now that’s the story I want to hear.”

Kelsey turned around and leaned against the sink. “Why are you rooting for Adrian?”

“Because I think he’s good for you. He makes you feel. For the last three years, you’ve gone to class, studied, and worked at the animal hospital. You’ve existed, you haven’t lived. There’s fire in your eyes when you talk about Adrian.”

“He infuriates me one minute and makes me want to kiss the heck out of him the next.”

“You want to kiss him?”

“Oh, my goodness, Janie. What is wrong with me? I’m supposed to dislike him.”

“Says who?” Janie dropped her feet to the floor. She squinted her eyes as she studied Kelsey. “Spill it. You know you want to.”

“I kissed him. Again. Actually, we kissed a few times.” Kelsey sat on the edge of the tub. “He’s such a good kisser. He makes my stomach flutter, my knees weak, and my breath catch. I think I might really like him. It’s crazy though, right?” Kelsey couldn’t believe she kissed him like that. She stormed through the dog kennels and basically attacked him. He didn’t seem to mind in the least, having joined in almost immediately.

Adrian had only let her have control for a few seconds before taking them both to ecstasy.
